Latest review

First review round: 21.6 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The reviewing timeline was extensive, and peer comments were frustrating. It seemed detrimental to describe the paper as "brilliant" scientifically but disqualify it because of the sensitive issues it addresses. For a paper with no scientific issues and fitting the journal's scope, corrections requests would have seemed appropriate to smooth the political dimension.
